Constraints

Legacy Compatibility

`POST /api/upload` remains available for backward compatibility, but new integrations should use `/v1/uploads`.

Response Fields

API Contract Notes

• All clients should handle non-2xx responses as structured error payloads.
• Use explicit JSON schema validation for request payloads on your side.
• Treat output_url as an asynchronous artifact and not an immediate response contract.
• Persist job lifecycle state transitions for auditing and support.

Integration Verification

Upload Validation Checklist

1. Validate MIME type and extension before upload.
2. Enforce max size and duration constraints in client and backend.
3. Store returned video_url with upload metadata for traceability.

When to Use Upload Video

Upload Video belongs to the API Reference section and covers upload local video file and receive cdn video url.

The page is written for developers and operators who need predictable video background removal behavior in production, not just a one-off demo request.

• Validate the exact Upload Video contract before wiring it into backend workers or customer-facing flows.
• Use the field tables and examples to create request/response tests in staging.
• Capture job_id, request_id, model, output_format, and user context whenever this endpoint participates in a production workflow.

Implementation Notes

Before you promote this workflow, test it with at least one short clip, one longer clip, and one visually difficult clip from your actual product or customer segment.

For support and debugging, persist the original input reference, selected model, output format, credit usage, and final job status alongside your internal user or project id.

• Do not assume a processing request returns a finished video immediately; completed output is asynchronous.
• Do not discard failed-job payloads before logging the error code and request context.
• Do not let polling loops run without timeout, backoff, or terminal-state handling.
